WHAT WE DO

Licensing

Transferring rights to commercialize products and technologies is challenging because there are infinite ways to do it, and it is easy to be unsuccessful. Done incorrectly, a go-to-market strategy can be derailed years after the first products are sold into the market. Done well, more value can be realized than was contemplated when the first dollars of R&D were ever spent. SLG’s experienced licensing attorneys help clients develop and execute strategies to monetize intellectual property, and obtain commercialization rights. Our experience includes every variety of intellectual property licensed in domestic and international transactions, such as patent licenses, software and hardware licenses, joint development agreements and other strategic alliances and collaborations, technology “spin outs,” university technology transfers, software as a service (SaaS) or cloud computing agreements, open source licenses and supply, OEM, VAR and distribution agreements.
